Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price A masterpiece by one of the greatest writers of the Spanish Golden Age. When the people of the town of Fuente Ovejuna revolt against their tyrannical overlord and murder him, the authorities attempt to find out who is responsible, leading to one of the most memorable acts of resistance in world drama.

This edition in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series is an English translation by Laurence Boswell.
